"There’s the Monroe Doctrine and then there’s Cherry Monroe’s doctrine. While the first was conceived back in the day by a bunch of old guys wearing white wigs and petticoats (whatever the hell those are), the latter was invented by five young guys from Youngstown, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA, who specialize in glammed-up riffs, memorable choruses and eye-catching good looks. Their Rust/Universal Records debut, INSERT HERE, is a tuneful collection of soon-to-be-anthems that gleefully reminds the listener how much fun rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to be." http://www.umrg.com/artist.aspx?aid=466
**In July 2006, it was confirmed that vocalist Matt Toka left the band. A replacement vocalist has yet to be announced.**
Satellite
Cherry Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your lipstick sweet cherry red
Look at those bright blue eyes
No need to flip the switch
When I look at you I squint
d-d-damn you light up the room
I want to take you home tonight
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
She dresses like a popstar
I'm feeling so far away from reality
It ain't hard to understand she can break any man
b... b...by the way that she moves
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I've come undone
It's easier said than done
It's easier, it's so easier
I've come undone
It's easier said than done
It's easier, it's so easier
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight (x2)
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites
I want to take you home tonight
I'd take you home forever
I'm staring at satellites, staring at satellites,
staring at satellites
The song "Satellite" by Cherry Monroe describes a strong attraction or infatuation towards someone. The opening lines, "My heart has now bled / Your lipstick sweet cherry red" seem to suggest that the singer is in a vulnerable state of mind, while the image of the girl's blue eyes lighting up the room suggests her magnetic presence. The chorus repeats the desire to take this person home, forever. The sensation is so strong that the singer finds himself staring at satellites.
The second verse notes that the woman is dressed like a popstar, which adds to her mystique, while the singer feels miles away from reality. The chorus repeats again, "I want to take you home tonight / I'd take you home forever / I'm staring at satellites," emphasizing the deep longing the singer has for this person.
The bridge expresses a sense of coming undone, which could either suggest that the singer is overwhelmed by his emotions or that he is willing to let go of his inhibitions and be with this person.
Overall, the song seems to focus on the pull between two individuals who have a strong connection, perhaps even to the point of obsession.

@gmsisd
I have so many good memories about them 😍 I remember being so excited to have tickets for a meet and greet with band at tower city during a show there.
@misslula1209
This song was bomb. Don't remember where I heard it but I thought this was a world famous band. Why is it in my head? Why do I know the lyrics? Why is there only 37k views? Huhhh???
@jeffwarren3696
They were playing a free concert in Terre Haute Indiana, I’ve love this song since I heard it 👍🏽💪🏽
@planetschlock
I remember this being played quite a bit at frat parties when I was a freshman in college (all the way back in 2006, ooof).
@INXSFan33
I used to wake up to this song with my college girlfriend. It was her main alarm and ringtone. She was my Crazy Love that Cherry Monroe sings about. The love is long gone, but the song and memories remain...
@nissanftw240

@INXSFan33

I was in the worst mode and I thought about this song and now I'm on TOP of the world...for a little while!!!
@Offspringfan64
I saw Matt Toka at Warped Tour, I think it's a cut above this stuff. Much more street punk, more energy too.
